The stock market to day was more active than
Ser some weeks and prices were on higher
level than at any time last week. The news of
the disturbances in LONDON yesterday led to
the expectation that prices from that center
uoald be lower this morning. but the reverse
was the case and a strong and active opening
occurred here. Considerable excitement at
tended the early trading. and Reading was the
special feature. the crowd in the stock being so
great that many brokers had much difficulty in
executing their orders.
The transactions in stocks were extremely
large, and liberal foreign buying orders ran the
business of the frst hour up to very high hg-
iions were instrumental in checking the adj
vance, but the news OF the day was almost en-
sireIy OF s favorable nature and the gains were
maintained throughout the day, while many
stocks reached their best figures in the last
beur. After Reading LackswaDna, Erie and
other London fayOrites were most conspicuous

well maintained. Further gains were estab-
lis6ed In the afternoon when the market be-
came rat her feyeTish, but the best figures in
several stocks were made in the last hour, the
close being active and firm at or near the high
